<p>Yes the chair in the picture is the one I'm creating. I am a draftsman by trade so I took a 3D CAD model based on this picture and reverse engineered it into all the seperate pieces and made 3D and 2D plans out of everything. Hopefully I have all the correct dimensions for every piece. We'll find out, either I'll be sitting in it roasting marshmallows or roasting marshmallows over it in the fire. ;)</p>

<p>You can get ideas as to where you need carriage bolts for support. I doubt that Norm used a Kreg Jig, but I'm sure there are ways to modify the project to use pocket hole joinery. Here is a link to this chair for free plans....…</p>

<p>Hi James,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, this is not my first project, just my first Adirondack chair. All lumber is correct but I am wondering if anyone has any advice on fastners and placement whether that be the pocket hole screws, brad nails, carriage bolts, etc. I am going for a look that hopefully has as many of the fasteners hidden as possible. I don't really want to use plugs of any sort if I don't have too.</p>

<p></p>
<p>1. Make sure of the dimension of your lumber, especially when using plywood, so your jig settings are correct.</p>
<p>2. Use scraps to test your jig settings and adjust either the collar on the bit or the guide on the jig until you get the desired results.</p>

<p>4. Use the correct size screws for your project's lumber size.</p>
<p>5. Drink plenty of fluids.</p>

<p>I'm sure others will have more tips, but the number one tip anyone will give you..."Work safely!"</p>
